If you’re curious as to whether you have any stored emotions or trauma that might be causing your illness, preventing you from achieving your best, or even just showing up as the best, authentic version of yourself, I invite you to take my free Stored Emotions and Trauma Quiz.

You’re not indecisive—your subconscious just doesn’t trust you.

In this sharp, soul-shaking episode, Stephanie unpacks the real reason you can’t make decisions, stop ruminating, or get out of your own head—and it’s not because you’re weak-willed or too sensitive. You’ll learn how overthinking hijacks your subconscious, tricks your body into sending danger signals, and quietly sabotages your ability to feel safe in your own choices. Stephanie shares her own past struggles with analysis paralysis and offers a deceptively simple, science-backed method for disrupting the “danger loop” and rewiring your brain to trust yourself again. If you’re constantly second-guessing yourself or craving clarity, this episode delivers a reset button—one you can use immediately.

You’ll Learn:

• How subconscious danger signals hijack your decision-making
• Why overthinking is a learned pattern—not your personality
• What shallow breathing reveals about your nervous system state
• How to rewire self-doubt by disrupting subconscious loops
• The exact breathing pattern that activates your parasympathetic calm
• Why indecision often signals a lack of internal safety
• How to retrain your brain to interpret uncertainty as safe
• What a simple self-talk script can do to break mental spirals
• How childhood dynamics shape adult trust issues with yourself
• Why building micro-trust is the fastest way to reclaim confidence
